“There’s some good information but for the most part it comes across as a reading of Wikipedia articles. Very little reflection or insight. Contains the usual historical figure “fanboy” gushing about people that were ultimately wealthy, hypocritical, racist and condescending. The first volume containing the Revolutionary War skips over the fact that wealthy landowners convinced poor whites to fight the British so that the American landowners can be the ones to rule over the “trampling bewildered herd”. Instead, it’s several hours of gushing over the various founding fathers, most of which did not believe slaves and natives to be proper people. The believed them to be more like children that needed to be shepherded by good christians. Audiobooks are most likely the better platform for history.”
